According to the book, the ancient Northwestern Europeans called themselves Frya's Children (or simply the Fryas) and spoke only one language, which they called Fryas — and even “God's language.”
According to the book, the ancient Northwestern Europeans were not heathens, but believed in only one God, whom they called Wralda (“the Primordial One,” or lit. “the Overoldest”).
The book was quickly attacked and ridiculed in newspapers before the first translation was published in 1872.
The book is often called invented (e.g. on Wikipedia), but that would have required archaeological knowledge that people in the 19th century did not have, as well as an impossible amount of effort, time and money with no hope of any gain.
